abstract
If a many-body quantum system approaches thermal equilibrium from a generic initial state, then the expectation value $\langle\psi(t)|A_i|\psi(t)\rangle$, where $|\psi(t)\rangle$ is the system's state vector and $A_i$ is an experimentally accessible observable, should approach a constant value which is independent of the initial state, and equal to a thermal average of $A_i$ at an appropriate temperature. We show that this is the case for all simple observables whenever the system is classically chaotic.

The paper establishes that typical states in a grand-canonical micro-canonical Hilbert subspace produce the grand-canonical density matrix and a GAP/Scrooge wave-function distribution for the subsystem.

Violating the All-or-Nothing Picture of Local Charges in Non-Hermitian Bosonic Chains
Non-Hermitian bosonic chains with symmetric hopping can host k-local charges for selected k only, providing counterexamples to all-or-nothing integrability and showing the Grabowski-Mathieu 3-local test is not universal.
